7:00 p.m. EST – It’s about to get good Greg Vanney arrives on TSN’s pre-game It’s time to indulge in the fan shield talk We’re about 37 minutes away from the kick-off sending

6:45 pm EST – Lots to take away from this Toronto FC starting XI, but even without the names on the injury report, how beautiful is this bench? It’s a scary depth I think today might finally be the day we see the debut of 16-year-old Jahkeele Marshall Rutty

6:40 pm EST: The layout thickens a friendly reminder that Canadian teams are normally left out of the CCL’s place due to their league win

MLS has provided TSN with a response to our inquiry as to whether the CCL spot would be awarded to Toronto FC if they were at the top of the regular season standings, given that they are a canadian team #TFCLive picTwittercom / TgmIEAuPDP

TORONTO, Canada – Toronto FC will host Atlanta United at their temporary home in Connecticut in a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Final

The Reds are looking to make nine in a row with at least one point against The Five Stripes on Sunday night

TFC break a deadlock midweek with the New York Red Bulls where an early penalty from Alejandro Pozuelo was canceled by a sensational strike from Red Bulls replacement Caden Clark

Fatigue was clearly a factor on Wednesday with the recent game roster congested catching up with the Reds in the second half of the game before finally spitting his head thanks to Clark’s arrival in the 77th minute.

It has been a roller coaster year for Atlanta as they started the season with two straight wins and looked set for another playoff streak in 2020 Since then ATL has grown from its manager and a key designated player, failing to string together back-to-back wins since They currently find themselves in tenth place and fighting for the last places in the playoffs

Atlanta stole a point at South Beach last time when Jake Mulraney came off the bench to tie things up, recovering a 1-1 draw against Inter Miami Mulraney’s finish was United’s only shot on target in the ninety

The creation of chance has been a big concern in recent Atlanta memory with the departure of Pity Martinez doing little to help the cause

The Reds ‘injury report is about the same as the Red Bulls’, with Justin Morrow and Jozy Altidore staying on the sidelines with the latter far from getting back into shape

Greg Vanney will potentially have a big boost in midfield as captain Michael Bradley is expected to play to some extent against Atlanta

#TFCLive coach Greg Vanney said there was a «  very good chance  » of Michael Bradley (knee) involved on Sunday against #ATLUTD

Injury issues on the other side are focused on the continued absence of talisman Josef Martinez The 2018 MVP and Golden Shoe winner healed the ACL injury he sustained in the first game of the season for almost seven months

Potential return of Ezequiel Barco and new DP Marcelino Moreno to squad should give Atlanta a boost ahead of weekend clash

Since the Five Stripes joined MLS in 2017, the two teams have faced each other seven times, including last year’s playoff showdown, with TFC losing on just one occasion

In a contest that has averaged nearly four goals per game in the past, the prospect is there for plenty of goals on both ends in what should be a high-flying affair at Hartford
